Madly Stylish Party: Glam 1st Birthday!

Happy Valentine's Day!  We are starting the week with a lovely party feature!  A few weeks ago,  I helped a client, my sweet cousin,  plan a very special birthday party.....her daughter's first birthday!!!!   It was truly a joint effort as she lives in Miami and I am in Maryland.   I ordered everything we needed and mailed them to her.  Fabulous invites from Icing Deigns set the tone of what was to come.

She wanted a fun party with a little bling and lots of pink.  I think we achieved that!  See for yourself!

I worked with Cupcakes Nouveau in Miami to order the cupcakes for the party.  They were great!  If you live in the area, go have one of their cupcakes!  They also provided the stand that you see.  The flowers were bought at the Miami Flower Market and we assembled them together via Skype.  My client took pictures of all the vessels she had and emailed them to me.  I sketched out the table design and on the day of the party helped her set-up the table, again through Skype. The wonders of modern technology!

 I love how those white chocolate letters came out.  Sweeties by Kim never disappoints.  The birthday girl's name is Vivienne but they call her Vivi.  The chocolate letters were adorned with mini flowers in light pink and hot pink.  Those chocolate covered Oreos with the number 1 and the hot print zebra strips are also by Kim.

I think she did a great job with the flowers!

Cupcakes by Cupcakes Nouveau...love how they use mini marshmallows to anchor their cupcakes!

I wish you could see these photo flags! The picture does not do it justice.  Can you see how the edge of the blanket sparkles! We used these photo flags to highlight Vivi's first year.

Pink peppermint marshmallows

sweet treats for the guest..

 

The treat bag were covered with sparkly silver alphabet letters and pink and purple sparkles....they were filled with pink M&Ms.

Vivi' smash cake...too pretty to smash, I think...her grandma made it!

The birthday girl's high chaired was draped with 2 hot pink boas and sparkly "kid-proof" necklaces.  I think she had a great time ;)!!

Sweet First Birthday Inspiration

Happy January!  The bitter cold has settled arrived here in Maryland. I'm currently working on a first birthday party for a client in Miami and hoping they can send some heat our way.

Thought I'd share the inspiration board for this sweet little girl's first birthday celebration!  Girly, pink, and oh so fun!  What's not to love!

Working with the fabulous ladies of Icing Designs who created a gorgeous invite!  Can't wait to share it with you!  The cupcake photo flags and photo garlands in the bottom row of the board is their work.

My Little Sunshine Birthday Party

I had to take a closer look when I came upon this party by Katie Grace Designs.

Love that lantern backdrop!

I am  always singing You Are My Sunshine to my girls, corny and I can't sing to boot, but they love it still!  So of course, I fell in love with this sweet little party.  I think you will too!

Favors Station!

What a great idea....a picture of each month of the birthday girls first year!

Thought this was so sweet and simple!
